The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

Salama looking to score a takedown here. Lopez is defending well but Salama drives through and ends up in Lopez's guard.
Salama slips effortlessly into side control - very nice.
Lopez on his back here. We all know that wrestlers don't like being on their back so let's see if Lopez tries to get out of the position.

Salama is working to tighten his grip on Lopez's neck. He's isolated an arm and is working for an arm triangle. Lopez has recognised the danger and is trying to turn with the submission but Salama is really squeezing tight and eventually Lopez passes out! Salama breaks the hold and jumps onto the ropes to celebrate! Submission of the night, I'd say!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:22 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Kakkos Salama!
Kakkos Salama decided to hype himself up post fight. It was going well but he went on about it a bit too long and the crowd turned on him a little.
